For the Conceptual Project, Juniors at Freestyle Academy develop their abstract thinking and communication skills to answer the question, “How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What I value most about being a English and Digital Media student at Freestyle is my ability for creative freedom and access to amazing resources to help me learn. Throughout my first semester here I have been able to do expand my education in a variety of ways and do amazing things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For the Haiku assignment, I worked to create a haiku poem in English and then made it into a video in Digital Media. A haiku poem consists of following a pattern of syllables ( 5-7-5) in it’s three lines. It also includes a kigo which is a seasonal reference. Once I finished writing my haiku in English class, I took a picture to fit the mood and produced a video in Digital Media that included my poem, picture, and voice recording of me reading it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em><\/strong>This project emphasizes creative risk-taking through poetry, music, art, animations, experimental film and web production, challenging students to express their unique opinions. Students begin developing their technical communication skills by learning a variety of modern professional equipment and applications such as DSLR Cameras, Tascam Audio Recorders, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, Avid Pro Tools, WordPress, and Google Apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHaiku<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
